My experience

They are owned by new management and have not had WiFi available since just before I moved in here. Staff has WiFi but not us residents. We do, however, get TV service. Got a new chef along with the owners. I had no problem with the food before or after the new Chef. People get along just fine here. The countryside is beautiful. Trips are arranged to local shopping, restaurants etc. All in all it's quite a nice place

92 yr old finds just what she wanted plus more at Grande Ronde Retirement

Moving to Grande Ronde Retirement was a wonderful decision.it feels like HOME all ready. They make new people feel so welcome, always making sure we are aware of all the services available for us. I love the Good morning smiles. The printed daily schedules are certainly appreciated.

Overall a nice community with areas of improvement.

The meals and dining experience is improving ever since they hired a new cook. We don't really have anything to compare with. My mom is on un assisted side. I expected at least daily wellness checks. My mom did not get an orientation upon arrival and just had to learn from other residents. They lock the doors at 5 pm. Way too early. Gave her a key that isn't easy to use. Need to communicate changes better. Intercoms don't work and they are supposed to be used to notify residents of all clear for fire alarm

Best option for area

The food isn't great and rarely what the menu says. Had some issues with billing but think we've got that straightened out. If we really had another choice would be looking elsewhere. Staff is nice but feel they are not trained well for the most part. Do not use the intercom to keep people informed of changes in schedule. Was no new resident orientation. Hoping new owners will look into these things.

My Review

My husband was there for 4 months. The care was awful. Bathroom was always dirty-bed was soiled. Management would not do anything about it unless complained. Short staffed. Food was cold.
